Amazon.com: ASUS Eee Slate EP121-1A011M 12.1-Inch Tablet PC: Computer & Accessories -

What I liked:

- It's Windows 7 so we will be able to use it in a corp environment. Clients want us to use iPads but compatibility, security, and flash support just isn't there yet.

- It already comes with the keyboard and stand. Please factor that in with the price.

- Has bluetooth and many of the ports I expect to use.

- The screen is a nice size so you can demo applications or slide desks on it to a small group.

- The unit isn't heavy so you can hand it around to people.

What I don't like:

- Windows 7 touch interface isn't as good as other touch interfaces. Hopefully this will improve over time

- The cost of the ep121 will probably make it a non-mainstream device.

- If they sold this without the keyboard, I could use one I already have and save money

- Like the other reviewer said, a finger print reader would rock.

Who should buy it:

- Those that want a tablet experience AND the ability to run windows 7 applications.

- Those that want to use a tablet in a corporate environment, as this tablet should meet security requirements.

Who shouldn't buy it:

People that want to mostly surf the web, consume media files, play games, etc., should consider cheaper options available (ipads, android tablets, etc.).

Eee Slate vs iPad:

I wouldn't say that these devices compete with each other. The iPad is great for consuming content while I see the Eee Slate being more of a productivity tool. Coupled with a keyboard, the Eee Slate is basically a laptop. When Asus releases some android tablets, we'll see how well they stack up."
